(Visited March 2024) This musical-oriented fringe theatre is a little gem! I thoroughly enjoyed Frank’s Closet. Whenever I’m due a trip to London, I always take a look at what’s on. * A great Off West End venue. As someone visiting from Manchester resident, it reminded me of 53Two and Hope Mill.

First time at the Union Theatre, had a great time, I was told it was an intimate space so I was worried before I got there but loved it felt I was a part of the performance, lots of aspiring young actors fine tuning their skills. Drinks were a good price for London and the pizza was fab and done in record time so all in all a great experience and will be back asap x

I wanted a quiet place for a coffee and a whisky. I stumbled over this place and I loved it. I sat quietly reading for a bit listening to the applause and laughter from the stage. Then a throng of young theatre goers piled in during the interval. It suddenly turned into a vibrant London bar. It was like the bar was two different worlds.

Feedback 4 Summer Solstice Theatre play : 1st of all I would like 2say that I visited this theatre couple times already but I never experienced Such a Sickening & Heavy Damp Smell on entry 😱 about the play : This was the Worst Play I saw in my entire Life!!! 2hours which I never get back. 3ppl play with very poor acting.... Overhyper Waiter which was very loud, female actress with accent which was hard 2understand, especially when she got exited & she start taking very fast. Lastly let's not 4get Male Acter which we could not here at all sometimes. We'll. It didn't matter anyway as it was Extremeky SLOW play with lots of unexpected delays/pauses where we were left looking at each other "is its already interval?" ... After 1st half where I was super bored btw, we were promised brilliant 2nd half, so I decided 2continue & watch. Some smart ppl left after interval & I was regretting staying... I love theatre & I am out every week 2-3x but this was very very bad.

I like the new home of The Union Theatre. The venue itself has a cosy bar with outside seating. The theatre itself is a black box flexible space. It's intimate due to its size but puts on interesting productions and is a stalwart of the London fringe theatre scene. Seats are fold up hard chairs. I was comfortable enough, but some may like to bring a small cushion with them. Rehearsal rooms are also available here. Please note, it doesn't look like they take cash here so be prepared to pay by card at the bar/box office.

Tropecé con esta calle y encontré este encantador restaurante. El clima era agradable, así que decidimos quedarnos afuera. Los camareros formados por hombres, al menos cuando estuvimos allí, fueron muy amables. Los menús llegaron rápido. 2 de nosotros fuimos por el club sandwich, teníamos una hamburguesa y el falaffel wrap. Todo fue servido en diferentes platos con diferentes cubiertos. Lo cual fue original. No tuvimos que esperar mucho por la comida, pero no parecía que la comida fuera procesada. Parecía muy fresco. El ambiente era muy agradable y había varios otros restaurantes en la zona. Esto es como una perla escondida en las concurridas calles de Londres.

This venue is not your "usual" theatre, it has some quirks which personally I like but it does help to be forewarned. If you come via Southwark Station, go diagonally left, under the bridge and immediately right into the courtyard. Walk in and on the right is what appears to be a restaurant with a bar. The bar and restaurant are separate businesses. About an hour before curtain up a little sign is popped onto the bar counter and hey presto, it's now the box office too! You can now exchange your ticket for a numbered plastic disc. When the doors open, out goes the call, "Number 1" and all the "1's" go through and sit wherever you want in the theatre. (Repeat for all the subsequent numbers.) I went to see Market Boy and throughly enjoyed it. To sum the place up, a quirky but friendly place with a great atmosphere, friendly staff and good standard of productions.

This was my inaugural return to London after almost a decade of various ill health. To not have to deal with the pressures of metropolis and cut into this wonderful cosmopolitan idyl just off the Southwark Road, was not only a relief, but a fantastic surprise of happy smiles and welcoming staff. With it being affiliated to and part of The Union Theatre, a wonderful mix of creatives, city workers and audience intermix with the casual off-Street customers. Sitting in the wonderful alfresco areas or internally in the loft-look dining area with suitable contemporary rugged furniture, unlike many equivalent places, there is no falseness, no forced agenda, just lovely, cool and friendly staff. Sadly not having enough time to eat, although frankly I would have, the menus were varied, well thought out and fairly priced. My large Cappaccino was hot, and excellently presented, and again, sub-London priced! Part of my troubles is socio-anxiety, and I am very pleased to say that solely due to the staff and atmosphere of The Union Theatre Cafe, it was not exacerbated by anything - so, if there was an award, this place would be getting a “Mental Health Friendly Accreditation “. Thank you!

I was looking forward to trying Terry’s cafe after hearing and seeing good things and we traveled some distance to get there. Unfortunately I left extremely underwhelmed, although you could tell the meat on the full English was of good quality that’s about the only thing I could complement. I felt that the service was quite substandard, We were sat at a table which hadn’t been wiped properly so it was very wet and still had bits of food left all over it. I felt that the server was slow quite ‘slap dash’ very slow to take our order although they were not busy and I felt the server was quite rude when she did come over. We ordered 2 cups of tea which came with the milk already added and with the teabag floating in the cup and I had to ask for a clean cup as one cup was filthy and very stained on the inside. The breakfast came out within minutes, our eggs were undercooked and had to send mine back as can’t stand snotty egg white, they forgot the mushrooms on one of the breakfasts and never asked if we would have liked fresh or tinned tomatoes. The ‘chunky chips’ on the breakfast were clearly frozen chips and were overcooked so didn’t bother eating them. We received tap water in a dirty, chipped glass bottle and one of the side plates had a big chip out of it. Unfortunately I felt quite ripped off so I wouldn’t recommend this place and certainly won’t be returning.
